My wife of 44+ years refuses to eat, drink or urinate. She did have a urinary tract infection and was in the hospital. They released her to me, her husband who is totally disabled to care for her. She refuses to get out of bed and will not take care of her needs. I have threatened to call 911, but she is refusing me on every turn. What and the hell can I do to make my wife cooperate? She also is refusing to take her meds.
